The Synthesis team designs and implements cost-effective, modern silane
manufacturing processes and valuable products to match the needs and
specifications of our customers including all aspects of sustainability
("Green Chemistry") and safety.

The Filler team provides technical solutions through innovation and concept
evaluation in silane-filler science by discovering disruptive technologies and
developing the understanding of the process/material structure/properties
relationship of filler-coupling agent systems with an emphasis on filler
contribution.

The Reinforcement team pushes the boundaries of today's knowledge of
reinforcement technologies by discovering understanding the process/material
structure/properties relationship of filler-coupling agent-polymer matrix
systems with a focus on interface/interphase design.

The Adhesion team provides technical solutions through innovation and new
concept evaluation, emphasizing the importance for understanding the nature and
the structure of the interphase, which forms between two dissimilar materials
(plastics, metals, organic resins, etc.).

Examples of skills and expertise gathered within the team are:

Room-temperature-vulcanization (RTV) technologies, both condensation and
addition cure systems, as well as silicone reactive hot-melt

Adhesion promoter chemistry based on organosilanes

Substrates modification (cleaning, priming, coating) with organosilanes,
resins and combinations of them
